STS Offers An Options Trading Education Program
|
Spread Trade Systems (STS) has introduced an options trading education
program suitable for investors of all levels. STS likens trying to absorb
the intricacies of options trading in two- or three-day workshops, or a
series of one-hour mentoring sessions, to trying to drink from a fire hydrant.
STS provides online courses of study that reflects this view. To progress
from one level to the next, content and concepts must be well-understood,
with mastery of each level measured through a series of tests.
The STS lifetime training is offered at one price, allowing students to take any of the 34 classes offered as many times as desired. www.spreadtradesystems.com |
